660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Congenital atrichia with papular lesions resulting from novel mutations in human hairless gene in four consanguineous families
Mutations in the hairless gene cause a rare form of permanent hair loss.
research Remarks on the Hormonal Background of the Male Equivalent of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Men might have a version of the female disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, shown by changes in hormone levels and early baldness, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA causes progressive hair loss in Black women, starting from a central scalp patch.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A call for additional literature in the pediatric population
More research is needed on CCCA in children, especially Black and Asian adolescents.

Five new mutations in the androgen receptor gene were found, helping to understand androgen insensitivity syndrome better.
research A review of hyperandrogenism state in polycystic ovarian syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome causes high male hormone levels, leading to symptoms like excess hair, acne, and fertility problems.
research Co-secretion of testosterone and cortisol by a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma
A woman's rare adrenal tumor caused high testosterone and cortisol levels, which normalized after the tumor was removed.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia – an approach to diagnosis and management
Diagnose and manage CCCA with thorough history, exams, and labs; treat with anti-inflammatory agents, stress reduction, and stopping harmful hair practices.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
